THE MAYORALITY.

Touching the coming municipal election

This being an unusual course for this pa

TO us. is the continued prosperity of
Wichita
We are now as 4 city where biunder

10 both our present and future. There are
a number Of men who are apparently TAX
ing great interest as to who shall manage
the affairs Of Wichita, but which men have
no real or abiding interest in
the city beyond what they
expect to reap f ON its prosperity. If
misfortune, ar trouble should come to the
town the great body Of these TO whom We
allude would simply move on. But there
are "A great number who cannot move on
whatever the result, but must abide what
ever fortune of good or i'll that follows.
For these reasons the EAGLE. in the case Of

Wind and Endurance IN running

The essential requisites of long-dis-
lance runner are strong heart and ca
pacious lungs in a broad, deep and mobile
chest. The reason for this will be APP
parent to those who understand the
physiology of exercise. To sustain long
continued exertion latent energy in the
muscles used is necessary, and also a
ready means of supplying these muscles
with an increased amount of oxygen
while in action, and of carrying away
the carbonic aid that results from the
combustion in the tissues Hence the
necessity of breathing faster while run
ming than while walking, and unless this
exchange of gases can be carried on with
sufficient rapidity and in sufficient guam

The Science of Feeding.

The science of feeding is one of the
most important studies Of the farmer By
it he is taught how to make the most of
his feeding crops, and how to spare
saIable hay by feeding straw with such
foods as oil meals, bran, and other pur-
chasable feeding stuffs. For instance,
one ton of clover hay contains nine or
ten per cent. of albuminoids, while ton
of timothy hay has only tive-and-a-half
per cent. of these valuable nutrients,
Now, clover hay is always cheaper than
timothy, and usually fifty per cent.
cheaper. But further, if a ton of straw
containing two and two-and- a-half per
cent. of albuminoids is mixed with ton
of clover hay, the mixture contains pre-
cisely as much nutritious substance as
two tons of timothy hay. Hence farmers
should grow timothy for sale and clover
for keeping, and if one should see load
of straw on the way to the paper mill for
81 per ton he should stop it and
give $3.50 for it, and so make
s. to So on the operation. This is how a
farmer may make large profit out of a
knowledge of the science of feeding ami
mails, and it proves the wisdom of the
old Roman philosopher and statesman
who said: "The feeding of animals is
the most important part of agriculture.

SelfMutilatiOn OF Crabs.

A letter from Paris records q very
curious and remarkable series of observa-
tions by two scientists upon the self
mutilatiOn of crabs. If the extremity of
a limb be injured, or a violent pain be
brought about, the limb is dropped by
the animal The process is as follows:
The animal raises the limb until it rests
against the protruding edge of the shell
just overhead; then, by powerful con-
fractions of the muscle which had raised
the limb, assisted by the counter muscle,
the limb is broken and drops off. The
reason for such spontaneous mutilation,
which must be very painful and wearing
upon the organism, appears to be in the
fact that when limbs are thus torn off
little if any bleeding follows, while, if
limb be cut, profuse bleeding follows, to
the danger of the animals life. This
process has been observed to take place
in many kinds of crabs-indeed, almost
all species-some species of Holsters,
and even in spiders and vertebrates.
